E-Bike Maintenance
Any part of a poorly maintained bike can break or malfunction leading to an accident where
you can be killed, severely injured or paralyzed.
Frequent checks are necessary to identify the problems that can lead to an accident.
See “Inspect For Safety” in your
Cannondale Bicycle Owners Manual
.
Before and After Each Ride
To prevent accidental activation of the drive system, remove the battery from the bike for
starting any mechanical work.
•
Clean and visually inspect the entire bike for cracks or damage. See “Inspect for
Safety” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
•
Make sure the battery is fully charged. Follow the drive system charging instructions.
Battery charge discharge capacity will decline with usage. Have the older battery
replaced when it fails to charge within the time indicated and/or to provide power
reliably.
•
Test the drive-assist system, make sure the drive system functions normally.
•
If your e-bike model was equipped with a lighting system (e.g., brake lights, headlights,
taillights, and/or number plate illumination), ensure each light functions properly.
•
Check for proper function of the front and rear brakes. Brake pad and rotor wear
is typically greater on e-bikes than on pedal-only bikes, requiring more-frequent
inspection and replacement.
•
Check tire pressures and the condition of the wheels. Ensure the tires are not damaged
and do not have excessive wear. Ensure no wheel parts are broken or missing and that
the wheels are firmly attached to the bike via secured skewers/axles.
•
Confirm the drive chain is in good condition, is clean, and is well lubricated. Chain
wear is typically greater on e-bikes than on pedal-only bikes, requiring more-frequent
inspection and replacement. Ensure the gears operate normally throughout the entire
range.
•
Inspect the condition of the electrical cables, ensuring no kinks or abrasive wear. Check
that cables near the dropouts are assembled properly to avoid contact with the brake
rotors.
